Description
▶ Features: Using eXtended Permission Manager, for each installed app, on single screen, you can: ● View, grant or revoke manifest permissions ● View AppOps permissions and choose one of multiple modes ● Set your desired reference value for every changeable permission
Manifest permissions are those normally called permissions e.g. Storage, Camera etc. AppOps (app operations) is a robust framework Android uses at back end for access control. They provide a fine-grained control over many of the manifest permissions. Plus it provides additional controls like background execution, vibration, clipboard access etc.
With every Android release manifest permissions are becoming more dependent on AppOps. So it's fun to control both simultaneously and see how they relate to each other.
When you reinstall an app, or change your device, or upgrade your ROM, it's a time-taking process to review all installed apps for granted permissions and revoke the unnecessary ones (after all privacy matters). PMX provides you the solution. Set reference states of permissions, which can be quickly backed up and restored, and colored bars at left make it quite easy to review packages and permissions at a glance.
▶ Need help? We are here to explain. Guide / FAQs: https://mirfatif.github.io/PermissionManagerX/help/help It answers the basic questions including: ● What is PMX? ● Why do I need to use PMX? ● What are manifest permissions and AppOps? ● What are Permission References?
Are you concerned about Performance, Privacy and Control? You can control, which apps: - Run in background - Keep your device awake - Know about your location - Can send SMS and make calls - Read your contacts and logs - Are aware of your accounts - Are making sounds and vibrations - Use camera and mic - Access your files - Can read and write to clipboard - Can install other apps And many more, depending on your device and Android version.
▶ Paid Features: ● Sort apps and permissions by different parameters ● Scheduled Checks to notify bad reference states ● Auto Revoke granted permissions with RED states ● Permission Watcher to remove unwanted permissions quickly ● Make changes to critical apps and permissions ● Multi-users / work profile support ● Auto create backup file on changes ● Permissions description ● Search suggestions ● Theming options ● Permission summary view ● Batch operations (profiles)
Permission Watcher removes permissions as soon as you stop using an app. For details please see the help / guide linked above.
▶ Required Privileges / Permissions: ● In order to let Permission Manager X serve you fully, either the device must be ROOTED or you need to enable ADB over network. Otherwise, very limited information is available. ● Internet permission is required to use ADB over network. We respect your privacy. No data is collected.
▶ Note: ● You need to uninstall the app installed from other sources before installing this one. ● The app is tested on stock Android 7-16. Some highly customized ROMs may behave unexpectedly.

Last update, great. What is running another great app from the dev and works great to get a lot of information, to see all that is running. / The info helps for non-root users to set the permission that is req over adb and Termux app. I was able to do it with both methods. This app is better than the one I was using, provides more permissions to disable. Orange not yet set, disable perm, set as reference, set shed, app will revoke perm

After latest Magisk update PMX no longer recognizes root reliably. No other root-dependant apps have any issue. It has become unusable because of this. You can get it to work by uninstalling and reinstalling, but after a device restart the problem starts all over again. Both the F-Droid version, and the Play Store version have this issue. Same problem on my Pixel, and on this Xiaomi - Both running Android 13. I am hoping this gets fixed.

Downloaded exclusively to prevent an app from taking audio focus. I'm trying to prevent the Jillian Michaels app from ducking the audio on other music apps while I'm working out. It doesn't work, I can mute the sound from the JM app, but it still lowers the music volume from other apps when there normally would have been audio playing regardless of setting focus to ignore/deny which makes it useless. No option to refund despite uninstalling immediately because it doesn't work as I need it to.
